Hi Sarah,
This might sound wierd but how did you get the training camp info ? I went searching for it and I thought I had seen it on the training camp facebook page but I can’t find it back. Are you 100% sure that these are the dates because I’m trying to plan around a different family event I hava going in Sept ?

Thanks, Cindy

Those dates are in fact tentative but official. They won’t know for sure until the know if there is going to be a labor strike or not. At the very least the prospect tournament will definately happen. I am actually the Social Media Captain for the camps so I will always have the most up to date info as I get it. I should know more here in the next couple of weeks.
